I have family that lives near where you will be Kim!! Give them a wave as you drive by, will you please!! LOL !! Have a wonderful time....ps...last week you would have needed your umbrella, but I think you were waiting until the perfect weather (hopefully)!! Happy traveling!

Kim, Have a fantastic time with your family and safe travels. I'll miss you and your poetry. Five weeks seems like a long time but will fly by. I'm sure you'll sneak a peek every now and then. I know I would! Have loads of fun with your family in sunny Cal!!

Have a great vacation Kim.The best thing about being away from the Soup,is to come back again.Its like coming home again:-) I like to call this site my second home.Be back soon with lots of fresh inspiration! Arild
